"Until Iran dismantles its military nuclear program, sanctions must not be eased - on the contrary. Only the pressure brought Iran to this point, and only the continuation of pressure and its strengthening can bring them to dismantle their nuclear program," Netanyahu was quoted as saying.

In a world where North Korea and Pakistan are nuclear, Iran is a much lesser worry. Unlike the Sunni militants who one day could get possession of a Pakistani bomb, Iranians do not have a history of flying airplanes into American buildings. Iran’s sponsorship of Hezbollah is rightfully troublesome to Israel, but the US’s whole international policy can not be chained to Israel’s local problem in Lebanon.
